She was the dearest little thing, lying curled around in the deep snow on Tuesday morning. When we stopped to admire her, she got up and eventually, very hesitatingly came towards us.

"The white-tailed deer is Alberta's most abundant cloven-hoofed animal. Its coloration changes from reddish-brown in summer to greyish brown in winter. White-tailed deer are slightly smaller than mule deer.

White-tails possess excellent senses of sight, smell and hearing. They are extremely wary, and when alarmed they move rapidly, bounding away in smooth, graceful leaps." From www.srd.gov.ab.ca/fishwildlife.
